Ok so we all live in the real world and don't have Jaguars etc. How about putting up a pic of your own little pride and joy guys?

It's back in the workshop at the moment - having a custom swinging arm and ram air intake made for it. Should look a bit different when done - I'll post some more pictures.

I am not into fancy vehicles, I like and want versatility. My current set of wheels is a 7 pax 2002 Ford Windstar minivan. The seats all fold down giving me plenty of room for hauling, while still maintaining the capability for passengers. The van currently has 200,000 kms on the odometer, and is in excellent shape, so I have had good service from this van and will keep it for a few more years. Unfortunately, Ford stopped making the Windstar and the replacement does not compare.

This is the only photo I have of the van, took it shortly after we got it in 2002. The lighting wasn't very good so it is rather dark and does not show off the vehicle all that well. I just went through my extensive collection of photos, and can't believe that I have had this van that long and only took one photo of it. I will have to remedy that situation.

My wife has a 2003 Ford Focus Station Wagon. Again versatility is the main criteria we use when purchasing a vehcile. The Focus gets good in-city milage, necessary because my wife uses it to get to work. While at the same time, back seat folds down to give us good cargo carrying capacity. I don't have a photo of it at all.

In any case here is the photo of my pride and joy,

Nice scenery too!

Our car needs a wash Fagin! And that tractor looks like it could do with a good brushing down.

Nice to see some pictures on the forum though.

Bought a new toy a couple of months ago, to keep the Rocket company.

Was good fun, Skye.

Took it down to Devon, and had runs into Cornwall and Somerset and across Exmoor whilst I was down that way.

Did about 900 miles in a weekend Realistic Cars Icon_biggrin
